The Crossing

The Crossing Interactive is an immersive cross-platform project which explores the story of young girl sex trafficked into a multibillion dollar organised industry through the 'lover boy' technique.

Her story unfolds through a number of responsive interconnected screens using intense sound design and perspective shifting visuals.

The film takes as its starting point the concept of ‘hope’ and its gradual unfurling reality into an exploitation of trust to perpetuate a $150 billion world trade in 21 million people. A third of which are children. The result is an intense and immersive exploration of the destructive consequences of human trafficking through a heightened audio-visual experience.
